Tyler Gillette

I was born and raised in the NW suburbs of Chicago and a lifelong Chi-town sports fan.  Post high school I attended Miami University (Ohio) where I graduated with a degree in Business, majoring in marketing.

After college I relocated to Northern California where I spent just over a decade between Sacramento and the East Bay.  During that time I got into the seed industry and met my now wife Jennessa.  We relocated to Denver in the fall of 2015.  We had a daughter in 2019 named Rory and a dog named Wilbur.

When not out talking seed with customers or hanging with my family, I enjoy playing golf, traveling, and live music.

I’m very excited to be part of the Buffalo Brand team and work with Golf Superintendents and Municipalities all over Colorado/Wyoming.
